“In my single days, I often sent funds to women I dated—even some I never dated but who asked. I dated several of these women for years. I NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18. Any claim that I have would be destroyed in court—which is why no such claim was ever made in court,” Gaetz wrote. “It’s embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life. I live a different life now.”
Remember this next time you meet a Republican who claims to believe in Family Values. |

It will be released on the last day of the House session I think. |

Trump does not care. He actually wanted Gaetz to be the AG. |

| He will probably run for Florida governor and win. It’s Florida. |

It’s out. Ethics committee confirmed Gaetz did drugs and committed statutory rape under Florida law. He also paid for sex and drugs in his congressional office. And this is the next Florida governor.

| Can we get some of the Gaetz defenders back in here? I would love to hear their thoughts 💭. |

And knowing this, Trump nominated him to be the top law enforcement officer in the country. |

I don’t care about bad behavior when single. It is the bad behavior when married that bothers me. so feel like meh on this. I am old and know many guys who were horrible in the 20s/30s who have grown up in their 40s. Women too. I also do not believe he knowingly slept with someone under 18. There is a greater chance someone said they were over 18 and looked over 18. He is clearly being attacked for his politics and that also bothers me. Troubling that a report is leaked and so much leaking in so many things the past four years. Now when something is leaked I ignore.

| That is smart because it will be parsed in a way that doesn’t reflect the truth. Good for him. |

| As a former R staffer said to me, "Gaetz (along with MTG and Boebert) don't really want to DO anything useful in politics. They just want to be performative." They have done nothing productive as legislators. And isn't this report detailing behavior from when he was 35 and he is now 38? I generally start believing that people have become "different people" when they actually HAVE a meaningful track record of being that decent person. smh |
